The Happy Ending Love Story

More Than Love, This Is Destiny #7

Bylona was the empire that had the greatest magic power among the four empires on the continent. Most of the magic power is owned by the nobles. Therefore magic is not consumed by the public and its distribution becomes special. Despite having the most magic power the people of Bylona consider that magic is a taboo thing to talk about. This made magic a privilege of the nobles.

Ares who is the ruler of the region and holds the title Duke, a title equivalent to the descendants of the king of course has this privilege. Possession of stones and magic objects the most. Therefore Duke Ares Osbern is highly respected in the upper class. With its popularity, not everyone likes it, there are those who do not like its identity. The events of a few months ago are proof. He was framed and attacked by a crowd of sorcerers. Fortunately, he survived, but he lost his memory and Theia saved him.

"Your Majesty." Everyone looked down, saluting Ares.

Only Theia remained silent. With red eyes from crying, his gaze locked onto Ares. His feelings are mixed. Longing, sad and empty feeling soon hit him. Finally he could see Arei again. Arei who always comes in his dreams, every night. But he wasn't the old Arei. Arei who Theia loved so much. Arei who loved him too. Husband's area. Arei his soul mate. Theia sad. This meeting was the last time he would see Arei. His death flag has been seen. Theia never forgot Arei's indifferent gaze as she left Theia. Theia closed her eyes. Tears rolled back her cheeks.

"Create..." Theia murmured softly. But he quickly realized his mistake. Theia was as strong as she could get up and down from the bed. He stood with the remnants of his strength.

"Greetings to His Majesty Duke Osbern." Theia bent. Her legs were trembling but Theia was holding her back. His hands were in the stomach and his head was down.

Ares did not answer. He stepped closer to Theia. This is not what he wanted. It was not Theia who bowed to give him respect. The situation he imagined betrayed him. On the way Ares imagined that Theia would run to embrace him. The shadow is now just evaporating. Ares' forehead is wrinkled, he feels something is not right.

"Your Majesty please forgive me." Theia who saw Ares' feet approaching immediately spoke and placed both her hands and forehead on the floor. The pain pierced his entire body. Theia grimacing. He was all his strength to endure the pain. He wants to live. So Theia decided to beg the Duke for mercy. Who knows Duke sympathizes then pity and is willing to let go of Theia.

"Theia... What are you doing?" Ares stop. His eyes widened to see Theia kneeling before him. His hands are clenched strong. Not just him, everyone who watched was coaxed with Theia's behavior all of a sudden.

Theia gasped when she heard her name called by Ares. Heart's sliced. She missed Arei who called her name affectionately. Theia would be hypocritical if she didn't admit that she missed Arei so much. Her voice made Theia's heart tremble.

"Please forgive His Majesty Duke Osbern. I confess Your Majesty's fault. Please forgive me, I do not intend to deceive Your Majesty. It was the pure ignorance of the servant that the one whom I saved was His Majesty Grief. Forgive the folly of this servant, Your Majesty. Please release the servant. The servant has nothing left. If Your Majesty is willing to forgive, the servant will go far away Your Majesty. If necessary the servant will come out of the Bylona Empire. Please don't kill His Majesty's servant." At the end of Theia's voice shook. Cry broke. Her cheeks are wet again. Still kneeling with his head on the floor. Theia pleads to save her life for the one she once loved. This man is the father of the child he contains. Theia is not begging for her own life but for the life of the baby in her womb. If she wasn't pregnant Theia would have given up long ago.

Silent. There's no answer.

"Your Majesty please forgive me. Please don't kill the servant." Theia's desperate. "Let this child be born and live freely, Your Majesty, after that please punish the servant. I am ready to accept punishment." Theia kept trying.

Ares who was still in place frowned. Her brain was processing Theia's words. Words sharper than a knife. Theia's words pierced through her chest to the point of tearing her body apart. This situation is out of Ares' control. Ares never wanted this. Seeing Theia kneeling, crying and begging for her life made Ares' body hit by the power of thousands of tons. He almost lost his footing. There was no way he would hurt Theia. But Theia thinks of him as a killer. Ares realized his mistake. Mistakes have left Theia. Ares should have come sooner to see Theia. Explain everything to Theia. So something like this doesn't happen.

Area stepped closer to Theia then crouched down bringing her body closer to Theia. The subordinates who saw their master lower their bodies lowered their bodies as they approached the floor.

Ares' heart is sad. Those brownish eyes that were parched were shedding tears. His thin lips that had always formed that smile were now quivering and pale. Seeing that sight Ares cursed himself.

"Theia don't cry." Ares wiped Theia's tears with his thumb.

Theia gasps. She's still crying. His body shriveled with fear.

"What did you just do?" Ares asked, whose hand was wiping Theia's wet cheek.

"Who would hurt you? Who's gonna kill you?" Ares' hand now moved to Theia's lips and then rubbed her gently.

Theia did not reply, her sobbing getting louder. Theia's body trembled violently. She's afraid. He wants to escape.

"Don't cry Theia. No one's gonna hurt you." Ares pulled Theia's body closer then hugged her.

Theia's sobs broke and became more and more so. Theia was crying like she had never cried before.

Ares slowly lifted Theia dab's body and then walked towards one of the sofas there. The area gave a sharp look to the butler Gion. Gion then ordered all the servants and doctors to leave the room.

Room door closed slowly. Inside there was only Theia and Ares. Theia who was crying was on Ares' lap. Ares tries to calm Theia by stroking her shoulders. She doesn't like to see Theia cry. This was the first time Ares had seen Theia cry.

"They... Don't cry." Ares who was powerless saw Theia crying again hugged her body. He kissed the top of Theia's head while stroking her shoulders.

"Theia please." Ares Pinta.
